Portage County Assistant District Attorney David Knaapen said a sheriff’s deputy saw a green truck make a U-turn when the driver saw his patrol vehicle on Main Street in Junction City. The deputy tried to pull over the green truck when he looked up the truck’s plates and realized it was registered to a different vehicle.

After the deputy turned on his patrol car’s emergency lights, the truck pulled into a business parking lot, but the deputy found the driver had left the vehicle, Knaapen said.

One of the county’s K-9 units was deployed, and other deputies joined in the search, Knaapen said. A deputy eventually found Trelka hiding under pine trees, Knaapen said.

Portage County Circuit Judge John Finn ordered a $10,000 cash bond for Trelka. Trelka was free on bond in three other cases, including a fourth offense of operating while intoxicated, Knaapen said.

Trelka is scheduled to appear in court for an initial appearance June 30.
